How I can tell wsock that it should not send BC messages to the internet? Im sending LAN broadcast messages (ip 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255) and everytime i send one my firewall pops up...

Hmm... The broadcast messages are restricted in global network area. Otherwise there could be a massive flood... Hehe You have to create an ''allow broadcast messages'' rule for the firewall if you trust you lan. I don''t see a problem here, but I may be misunderstanding something...

It doesn''t. The network stack does not know or care if you are connected to a LAN or whatever. If your firewall is making a fuss about broadcast messages then your firewall is not configured properly.
